Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 can diced green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar, Monterey Jack, diced green chiles, sour cream, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Lay one tortilla flat and add about one-sixth of the filling toward the center. Fold in the left and right sides, then roll from the bottom up to create a secure burrito.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Place chimichangas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush each chimichanga lightly with olive oil to promote crisping.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, or lime if desired.
